Could I get some assistance using postForm() to scrape the business names and addresses at this website:

I've read through (http://www.omegahat.org/RCurl/RCurlJSS.pdf) and scoured the web for tutorials, but I can't crack it. I'm aware that this is probably a pretty basic

How to programmatically save a web-page using R (mimicking Command+S)
Hi,
I would appreciate if someone can give me a pointer on how to save a
webpage programmatically using R.
For example, let say I have this webpage open in my browser:

When manually I save this page, I just press Command+S (using Mac) and
then this page get saved in hard-disk
Now I want R to mimic this same job that I do

try / tryCatch for download.file( ) within a for loop when URL does not exist
I am trying to download a bunch of files from a server, for which I am
using download.file( ) within a for loop. The script is working fine
except until download.file hits a URL which has no file, at which
point it exits. I want to change this behavior to simple log the
failure and maintain state within the for loop and iterate to next. I
read about try / tryCatch but am having trouble

String concatenation, File Path Handling to pass to download.file( ) [backslash in DOS paths]
Gabor,
Thanks much. Your solution is elegant. My overall scheme is to take
present date, and check whether it is a weekend, if not, then create a
string based on the date, to concatenate into a url link for
download.file( ). The files I need to download have a part which is in
the format: mmddyy. I am working to make myself a system to connect to
exchanges, and download end of day files from

RCurl : Problem with submitting using postForm()
Hi,
I am having trouble submitting a form using the RCurl package. My code runs
without errors but doesn't return the table I am after. I have a feeling it
is because there are 2 submit buttons on the page and I'm not hitting the
right one. I have tried everything I can think of to submit the form
correctly but with no luck.
My current code is as follows.

RCurl::postForm() -- how does one determine what the names are of each form element in an online html form?

I am looking into using the Open Calais web service (http://
sws.clearforest.com/calaisViewer/) for text mining purposes. I would
like to use R to post text into one of the forms on their website.

like it would do the job. Unfortunately the URL used in the example is
no longer valid (i have emailed the maintainer

RCurl and postForm()
Hi everybody,
I think that I am missing something fundamental in how strings are passed from a postForm() call in R to the curl or libcurl functions underneath. For example, I can do the following using curl from the command line:
